Boss man, in the group the Arena I threw out an idea for Sources to sponsor these Gladiator style battles. Apparently u don't like the idea of sources sponsoring these battles because perhaps it could be construed as source promoting. Well what if they paid to have this idea as their promo.
Sources pay the required price for say 8wks or 10 or 12 wks depending on how long of a body challenge they want. The mods would get fed and the source would pay to have his promo in the limelight on the biggest stage in the AAS forum world.
U might think this already exists with the EBC but let's be honest it simply doesn't. These EBC challenges have 50-60% completion from its members right? What if the source got to pick the best of the best to sponsor a one on one battle. They'd comp the competitors with his brand of gear making it apparent to the world since the competitors are evenly matched that his gear is if high quality. A source could choose the competitors that have the best chance to exhibit the qualities that best define their brand.
As a source I would be willing to make that promo payment to have my brand highlighted exclusively in the promo section for that long. A worthwhile investment on the source end. Gladiator games for the crowd and promo payments for admin. Win win. Just a thought.
